He Should Be Speaking From Prison!

Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad suggested that a royal commission of inquiry (RCI) be set up to investigate the granting of citizenship to one million foreign immigrants in the Federation of Malaya, before Malaysia gained independence.

However, he emphasised that it was merely a suggestion, because any such investigation (on the granting of citizenship) should be comprehensive and not focused on just one side.

"I'm just suggesting it, and not really serious about (implementing) it. But if there's an investigation it must be comprehensive, it's not fair to focus on only one matter," he said.

He was speaking to reporters after delivering the keynote address at the '2013 Penang Malays Economic and Education Transformation' convention at Universiti Teknologi Mara, Bukit Mertajam today.

He had been asked to comment on criticisms leveled at him for granting citizenship to 200,000 foreign immigrants in Sabah, during the time he was prime minister.

Saying the 200,000 foreign immigrants had been in Sabah for more than 20 years, spoke Malay and had assimilated local culture, he added, "From a legal standpoint there were eligible for the citizenship."

Not provided in the law

Furthermore, he said the granting of citizenships to one million foreign immigrants who came to Malaysia before independence was done by first prime minister Tunku Abdul Rahman even though it was not provided in the law at the time.

"This situation came about because the Malays are generous and prepared to dilute their power, and this is very different from what happened in Sabah because they had the right to have citizenship," he said.

Earlier in his address, he urged the Malays to weigh matters before making a decision and not just follow their emotions and feelings which could jeopardise the nation.

"There are those who are so obsessed with their leaders that even when they (the leaders) are wrong, they support them. So we must be very careful in not letting ourselves be influenced by such emotions and feelings," he said.

Pemerhati Mahathir is falling back on his tried and tested favourite race and religious card to defend his illegal granting of citizenship to foreigners in Sabah by telling half truths and outright lies to his Malay audience. He is implying to his mainly Muslim audience that there was nothing illegal in his granting of 200,000 Muslim foreigners citizenship in Sabah as the Tunku had given citizenship to one million unqualified non-Muslims in peninsula Malaysia. Azmin Ali has correctly pointed out that Mahathir’s operation in Sabah was shrouded in secrecy and was criminal whereas Tunku’s action was in accordance with a collective decision during the formative period of Malaysia’s history of independence. One of Mahathir’s lies was clearly exposed when the royal commission of inquiry (RCI) on immigrants in Sabah was recently told that a Pakistani Muslim and an Indian Muslim were granted citizenship in a matter of years and not more than 20 years as claimed by Mahathir.20/1/2013 8:02:37am | Report

Gerard Lourdesamy I assume the RCI proposed by Mahathir will include his father and grandfather who originated from Kerala, South India. At the same time the RCI should also investigate if Malaya ought to have been given her independence in 1957 on account of the alleged abuse by the Tunku in giving 1 million Chinese and Indian "illegals" citizenship without any proper evaluation and testing. The RCI should also consider the legality of the Federation of Malaya Independence Agreement between The Queen and the Malay Rulers since it may have been tainted by fraud in respect of the citizenship provisions.

Geronimo Upon obtaining their citizenships, the majority of the non-Malays started to 'pay back' their country by working hard. Many of them brought this country international recognition, and many of them returned home after their studies overseas as doctors, lawyers, engineers, lecturers, etc as part of their contributions towards nation building. Mahathir even admitted that the Chinese contributed 90% to the nation's coffers in terms of tax. Now, I would like him to tell us, by granting these illegal immigrants citizenships, what have been their significant contributions to this country? The non-Malays paid back their dues many times over and yet he has the audacity to fault us for his treasonous acts? I hope he will choke in his own puke one of these days and be buried in an unmarked grave.20/1/2013 5:02:07am | Report
